Pierson Somewhat Apologizes For Blaming Obama For Capt. Khan's Death

Katrina Pierson seems to believe Obama somehow changed the rules of engagement four years before he actually became president.

UPDATE: Donald Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson — who often puts her foot in her mouth — has reluctantly and half-heartedly apologized for blaming Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton for the death of Capt. Humayun Khan who died in Iraq back in 2004.

On Wednesday morning during another CNN interview, Pierson was given the platform to apologize for her inaccurate remarks, but rather than admitting she was wrong with a straightforward acknowledgement, she beat around the bush and said she apologized "for the timeline."

She still, however, tried to defend her original statements by maintaining that she was initially saying Trump shouldn't be "blamed" for something he had nothing to do with, while Clinton is the one who voted for the Iraq War as a senator.

It should be noted, though, that no one blamed Trump for Khan's death — only for his attacks against Khan's grieving parents after their critical Democratic National Convention speech.

Pierson is the only person who publicly placed blame for Khan's death where it doesn't belong.

As Pierson continued to talk in circles during the segment, one of the hosts, John Berman, asked her if she acknowledges that she was wrong to blame Obama and Clinton for "probably" costing Capt. Kahn his life despite the fact that the government was under George W. Bush's command at the time.

"Well, absolutely. That’s why I used probably, because I was just going through the timeline,” she responded, before reiterating that Trump “did not vote for that war, period.”

“Donald Trump never voted for the Iraq War,” Pierson said. “Hillary Clinton did. And then she didn't support the troops to have what they need. It was under Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton that changed the rules of engagement that probably cost his life.”

Claiming that Trump didn’t need to apologize to Khan, she said she was confused why Trump was being blamed for this ordeal at all — considering that, according to her, it were the flawed policies of President Barack Obama and Clinton that “probably” led to Khan’s death.

The thing is, as Pierson conveniently forgot, Obama was not the president back in 2004 — George W. Bush was. Obama and Clinton were both senators at the time, and although Clinton did vote for the Iraq war, she later called it a mistake.
